Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle (born November 27, 1980, in Traunstein) is a German cross country skier and biathlete from Reit im Winkl who has competed since 1998. Competing in three Winter Olympics, she won five medals with two golds (Team sprint: 2010, 4 x 5 km: 2002) and three silvers (Individual sprint: 2002, 4 x 5 km: 2006, 2010).

Sachenbacher-Stehle has also won four medals at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships with a gold (4×5 km: 2003) and three silvers (5 km + 5 km double pursuit: 2003, team sprint: 2007 with Claudia Künzel-Nystad, 4 x 5 km: 2009). She also has fourteen individual victories at various levels in distances up to 5 km in her career from 1998 to 2006.

From the 2012/2013 season, she switched to biathlon, citing motivational problems, and was given a slot in the German B-team. Members of the B-team are eligible to compete in IBU Cup races.^[1] Her results in the IBU-Cup made her eligible to compete in the Biathlon World Cup. In her first World Cup race, on December 14, 2012 in Pokljuka, Sachenbacher-Stehle finished 59th.^[2] On January 6, 2013 she achieved the first IBU Cup podium, finishing second in the 7.5 km sprint in Otepää.^[3] As of January 2014, her best individual performance in a World Cup race remains 6th place in 7.5 km sprint in Sochi on March 10, 2013.

She married German alpine skier Johannes Stehle in July 2005.

Controversy

Sachenbacher received a five-day suspension at the beginning of the 2006 Winter Olympics due to a high hemoglobin level. She was one of twelve athletes given five-day suspensions for health reasons – the International Ski Federation decided they could not safely compete due to an abnormally high red blood cell counts.
